Chapter 760 Can’t sit still
Shao Hu was looking at the illusions he had created, one after another, but he couldn't tell the real from the fake. And the old man who was summoned by the heart fire couldn't see through it at all.
The entire white sand world was blown away by the wind. Shao Huzheng came to his senses and found himself standing in Chengyang Manor. The waning moon was already tilted, and Gong Mengbi was standing beside him. It seemed that what had just happened was just a dream and was gone with the wind.
The old man whose soul had just been captured had the same feeling as him.
Although it was dark, the lights were on. Two old men sat opposite each other, one was Xin Jue who had escaped from Gong Mengbi's dream, and the other was a thin Taoist in simple clothes.
Xinjue hadn't put down a chess piece yet. One moment he was playing chess with the Taoist in front of him, and the next moment he was seducing someone in a dream. Now when he came to his senses, the chess piece was still in his hand.
The Taoist asked, "Who has taken your soul away?"
Xinjue shook his head, threw the chess piece on the board, and said, "Old Ghost Hou, I have to go."
The Taoist frowned slightly and said, "You came and left in a hurry, what is the purpose?"
Xinjue didn't answer, but just flashed away and left Hushan.
The chess game was disrupted. Taoist Hou looked at the mess of black and white pieces on the chessboard and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. "Has something changed?"
He took the chaotic situation as the hexagram, and with just a slight calculation, he got the hexagram of a fox star shining brightly and disunity.
"Who is preventing me from enlightening Zhang Chengzu?"
Taoist Hou could no longer sit still, and rushed to Xia Pi County without waiting for dawn.
At night, it was clearer to see the energy of the lunar star falling from the sky, and the light of the big Mars jumping around, like a fox jumping around in the Zhang family. Taoist Hou immediately understood, his face turned ugly, and he said, "He doesn't have such a fate in his life, how could he enter Taoism with the fox book?"
Although the fox book is a method of cultivation, firstly, it is written by foxes, which people cannot understand. Secondly, it is a method of cultivation for foxes, and its affinity with people is shallow. Zhang Chengzu has a master-disciple relationship with him, so his affinity with foxes is even shallower. Otherwise, how could he use the fox book to lead Zhang Chengzu into the Tao?
Who would have known that the thing that was supposed to be used to enlighten Zhang Chengzu would instead lead Zhang Chengzu down a wrong path.
If you go into the wrong door and want to go back, you have to go around in circles and take a long detour, which will be a waste of a lot of effort.
"Who came up with the idea of setting up the Fox Book? Was it Xinjue, me, or the City God of Xia Pi? How could a group of wild foxes bring about such trouble?"
Taoist Hou sighed, stretched out his hand and flicked it in the sky, which immediately caused the falling Taiyin Yuan Qi to become disordered, interrupting Zhang Chengzu's shallow practice.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Taoist Hou went to the City God Temple.
If someone does something, Gong Mengbi cannot hide it from him.
Shao Huzheng was asking him for advice on cultivation. The illusions in his previous dreams were so real and unreal that Shao Huzheng's brain was about to burn. He was not obsessed with Taoist magic, but seeing the changes in the heart fire, which were both real and fake, he determined that Gong Mengbi's attainments in fire magic were also very high and he could ask for advice.
Gong Mengbi was indeed an expert at playing with fire, and he had already mastered the Heart Fire Technique to its full potential. He was instructing Shao Huzheng when he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Xia Pi, saying, "Hmm? Someone can't sit still anymore."
Shao Hu was looking in the direction he was looking, but he saw nothing, so he could only ask, "What happened?"
Gong Mengbi said: "Zhang Chengzu was worshipping the moon and submitting to the emperor. Someone couldn't stand it and reached out to disturb Xia Pi's vitality. Now Xia Pi's vitality is in a mess, like a pot of boiling water. Young Master Zhang can't fish anything out of the boiling water."
“So many things happened, but I couldn’t see anything.”
"Don't be impatient. You have a solid foundation in cultivation and are diligent. Sooner or later you will be able to enter the middle third level."
Shao Hu was looking at Gong Mengbi, with a feeling of awe as if he was looking up to a mountain, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Gong Mengbi saw it and asked, "What do you want to say? It's not like you to be hesitant to speak."
Shao Huzheng was a little surprised: "We just met, how do you know my personality?"
"Your personality is hidden in your spirit. You are straightforward and determined, and you are brave enough to explore. It's rare to see that."
"Am I like this?" Shao Huzheng couldn't explain it clearly, but there was a smile on his face.
"So what's wrong with that?"
Shao Huzheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I just think that you have such ability, you should not be in such a position. A small Huzheng is really not in line with your Taoism."
"What's the inconsistency here? What I'm doing is just what a fox would do."
Shao Huzheng shook his head and said, "If you say that, wouldn't a Huzheng like me be ashamed to death?"
He guessed, "Don't you want to go back to Tianhuyuan?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Because I haven't finished what I need to do now, I can't be distracted by other things."
Shao Huzheng didn't know what he was going to do, but he was looking forward to it: "I am looking forward to you going to Tianhu Courtyard earlier and changing the layout of Tianhu Courtyard. You will definitely be able to compete with those foxes from aristocratic families."
"You think so highly of me?"
"Who told you to be Gong Mingfu?"
Gong Mengbi did not respond, but said: "Let's talk about future matters later, let's solve the current problems first."
Shao Huzheng nodded silently: "Then are we going to Xia Pi now?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "I'm not the one who's anxious now, just wait."
He looked at Shao Huzheng and continued to explain the changes in the heart fire. Shao Huzheng actually took some time to calm down.
At cockcrow, the five ghosts returned in the morning light, bringing the news they had gathered.
"The five of us brothers got some information from some ghost soldiers. We found out that the City God of Xia Pi is Zhang Chengzu's relative. Although it is not often mentioned now, many people knew about it in the early years."
"The current City God is a legitimate god appointed by the imperial court. He was appointed City God for his meritorious service in killing bandits. In the early years, the Zhang family often acted in the name of the descendants of the City God, but later they gradually stopped mentioning it. By this generation, few people know about it."
"Is it meritorious to punish a thief? What thief did you punish?"
"That's not clear."
"Go check the county annals and ask the community god. In addition to the Zhang family, check the Yu, Ding, Wang, Yang, and Li families as well. Be careful not to get discovered."
The five ghosts came and went in a hurry. Without Yu He's help in the underground work, the five ghosts could only work harder on the ground. Fortunately, they were capable enough now, otherwise when they went to the county government to check the county annals, Gong Mengbi would have to be careful that they were caught by the guarding ghosts.
Shao Hu had not slept all night and had been practicing with Gong Mengbi. After hearing the news, he understood: "No wonder Miao Hu sued Zhang Chengzu and was ridiculed. It turns out that they all knew that Zhang Chengzu was a descendant of the City God."
Shao Huzheng was somewhat gloating: "It's fine now. Since you didn't want to care about it before, don't even think about it now."
